Showcase of terran weapons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PppeTUJwCY

Adds several new weapons to the game.
The weapons are NOT balanced to vanilla balancing. It is more balanced towards VRO.
All have unique sounds but use existing turret models.

Large:
  • Intimidator Plasma Cannon (Paranid/Split)
  • Large Plasma Artillery (Argon/Teladi
  • Tachyon Cannon (Terran) [Weapon]
  • Multiphase Cannon (Terran)
Medium:
  • Medium Plasma Artillery (all)
  • Rapid Plasma Cannon (all in different versions)
  • 280 mm Autocannon (Argon/Split)
  • Quad Pulse Laser Cutter (Argon) [M Weapon available]
  • Proton Autocannon (Teladi Paranid) [M Weapon available]
  • Tachyon Blaster (Terran)
  • Impulse Blaster (Terran) [Weapon]
Small:
  • Tachyon Gattling Cannon (Terran) [Weapon]

Suggested Mods:

If you need more ships to mount the weapons on, have a look at my XR Ships Pack mod:
viewtopic.php?f=181&t=419641

and if you like better balancing, play it with the VRO mod
viewtopic.php?f=181&t=415713

and the VRO XR Ship Pack version:

I wish this too :D. But it needs time. There is a minor bug that I will fix this evening, making the Hunter Turret from VRO not available on medium sized ships with Weapon Pack enabled.
After that I will continue work on my other major mod the XR Ship Pack.

But in the future I absolutely want faction weapons. But this takes time. Always quality over quantity!

Am I right, that I have to buy the blueprints for the turrets and your xr ships to build them in my own shipyard, before I can use them?

Both mods are completely independant. So you dont need any ship blueprint to build any weapon.
But you will need to buy a blueprint for each weapon you want to build yourself. I must admit that I havent checked if they (the blueprints) are available at the different factions to buy, but it should work. The weapon wares dont have any owner, so I hope that the game identifies this as free for all races.
Thanks. I will add this for the next version.

Uploaded 1.0.4 which is compatible to Split dlc. If you dont have Split Dlc, it will still work, but sure only the non split parts of the mod.

Hi,
I'm not really sure, but I think your mod someway corrupts my ingame encyclopedia. When I try to access it, the user panel disappears (the cursor is still there). After deactivating your mod, everything works fine.
I tried the vanilla 3.0 version (no beta) with Split DLC and the following mods:
- Apologize for Attack
- Sector Sattelites
- Ship Repair Laser
- Spherical Long Range Scan
- Variety and Rebalance Overhaul 2.0
Any suggestions?

best regards

Tomorrow i can give you one. It's like the encyclopedia disappears as if you have closed the menu. But the mouse cursor remains. Furthermore I cannot change to another menu, until I hit esc
Edit: is it possible that your mod interferes with the ship repair laser mod? I'll try that out tomorrow

It should not interfer with the repair laser mod. In fact it should not interfer with any mod because it only adds new unique content or uses vanilla content but in this case unmodified.

Em, never mind. I tried again with the Workshop version of your mod, instead of the nexusmods one. Now it works fine. Sorry for bothering you...

The auto cannon needs a nerf imo. It absolutely melts anything it touches and impossible to dodge too.

Edit: I deleted the quote

You dont need to quote the full mod description ;).

You must be wrong here. I think you mixed some weapons.

The 280mm autocannon (there is an S version whot comes from VRO mod that has nothing to do with this variant) which can only be mounted on L ships is pretty inaccurate and for sure will more miss than hit. ALso its DPS is pretty normal with 590. Plasma turret does 680 with a longer range but more misses for example. The CIWS has 419 DPS but hits waaaay more times and is for sure better as anti fighter weapon. Just check the encyclopedia for more details please.
But I agree that for its price its a bit too good. Its cheaper than CIWS and Flak and does more damage. WIll think about a nerf for the next version.

Just wanted to say thanks for your work on this and the XR Ship pack, I'm looking forward to giving it a try!

One suggestion (for this post and your other ones). Put the download links at/near the top of the post. I know it's a REALLY minor gripe, but it would be nice not to have to scroll past the change log :P

You are welcome!
The dl link at the bottom is intended. So I can try to force people to read the last changes before they spam asking questions they would have known the answer by reading them in many cases ;).
